    Hello. Beadles checking in. Think I was number 96, not been in for a while!

    I continued to overpay each month by £350 @juliecorn could you add that for me? I think my total for 2021 is £13,850.

    I've changed my job at the start of 2022 and am now self-employed. For the moment, I've cancelled my automatic over-payments as I'll have to see how I go.

    Thanks!
    Initial 2 year fixed Mortgage (July 2019): £158,747 over 18 years. Overpaid £14,250 in Year 1, £13,400 in Year 2. Total mortgage reduced by £40,790 in 2 years. 

    New Mortgage (five year fix at 1.81%): June 2021
    Current Balance (01/06/2021): £117,957 over 14 years. Total overpayment in 2021 of £13,850. Lapsed tracking! Total Owing November 2022: £100,513. February 2023: £97,535. April 2023: £88,739. July 2023: £87,481. August 2023: £85,512. November 2023: £83,053.
